Itinerary description

succession of caves next to each others. They're beautiful. Two of them are connected with a tunnel of approx. 10m inside that cliff.
Suitable spot for camping, there is a flat spot where u can set your tent in front of a cave on top of the cliff with a beautiful view of the Adonis valley where Ibrahim river runs.
Being located at low altitude, it can gets really hot in daytime but pleasant at night, and a fire can be bearable.

    Hello, is the trail clear to follow from the starting point to reach the caves?

    Hi doris. The trail doesn’t seem to be regularly maintained and its not blazed though it was clear. I dont remember crossing any bushes. Enjoy it my friend. It’s a good spot for camping if you’re interested
